I've never been what you'd call trendy, but I do like to take a peek at what's new on the internet. Usually I don't look at it until it's no longer precisely new, but I do get around to it eventually. Sometimes I even dip my toes in the water and try it out. More often than not, I never do anything further with it, as with Comicspace--although in that case I'm pretty sure it's a personal issue rather than a problem with the site because I've never been able to figure out the appeal of Myspace either.
So I've been trying to figure out this Twitter thing that people keep talking about. I'm not sure how to categorize it--it seems kind of like a blog, only the posts are shorter? And you read it like a Livejournal Friends page? I mean, it's neat, but I'm not sure I see what's new about it.
However, it's got comic book content, so I am there. :)

Twitter is a bit like blogging or LiveJournal, but it's also like IMs or text messages to everyone who follows you at once. And it works with mobile devices. It's a quick way to get and send updates in real time to and from a lot of people, and it's being used by people who don't blog. I've seen it used by a fire department in Los Angeles to keep people up-to-date on wild fires, for example.
And there are other apps that let you do fun things with it, like turn updates from your blog(s) into Twitter updates so people can quickly find out you've updated your blog. I do that with a couple of my blogs.
